Operation of Urban Heritage GIS by the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage

The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage announced on the 10th that it will operate a Geographic Information System (GIS) for urban relics. GIS is a service that expresses the exact location of a subject or analyzes and provides necessary information. It operates based on geographic information collected and quantified from each region.

The urban relic GIS was created to provide convenience to buried cultural heritage investigation agencies. It displays information related to 2,243 relics and 27,385 remains from four ancient capitals?Gyeongju, Buyeo, Gongju, and Iksan?on a digital map. Previously taken aerial photographs and burial mound distribution maps are also made available.

According to the institute, previous field investigations took 2 to 3 days to collect and analyze information provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the National Archives, and others. Using the urban relic GIS, this can be completed within 30 minutes.

An institute official stated, “We plan to add information on about 1,000 relics surveyed before 2011 within this year,” and added, “We also plan to operate a ‘Field Survey Map’ service that records related survey information and edits and manages field photos and reference materials.”
